The compressor is fine and so is the fan. My last GE had the similar problems as this one but ongoing until I realized there was a problem about a year after I purchased it as new.
This one made it to 5 years with no problems... but no warranty. Even if I had the 5 year extended warranty, it would have been just over it and not covered anyway... bought $110.00 worth of parts from this website and the problem is gone... so far, so good.
